SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published a Federal Register Notice with

9th, 2024, at 89 FR 39678. The comments and FHWA's responses are below:
One comment was submitted on July 8, 2024, and no contact information
was provided. In summary, the comment requested monthly cleaning of
highways, fix potholes and mandate wildlife corridors, also known as
green corridors on highways, in each state. The comment describes the
benefits of wildlife corridors; including, safe passage during
migrations, promote genetic diversity by avoiding habitat
fragmentation, prevents animal-vehicle collisions creating safe
corridors for big and small animals, and minimizes human-animal
interaction. The NSFLTP Program supports wildlife crossings
infrastructure and may be eligible as long the project is a single
continuous project on a Federal Lands transportation facility, a
Federal Lands access transportation facility, or a Tribal
transportation facility (as defined in 23 U.S.C. 101) (FAST Act,
section 1123(c)(1), (d)).
Title: Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects
(NSFLTP) Program.
Background: The NSFLTP Program was authorized under section 1123 of
the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. 114-94)
and amended by section 11127 of the BIL. The NSFLTP Program funds are
to be awarded on a competitive basis for the construction,
reconstruction, and rehabilitation of nationally significant projects
within, adjacent to, or accessing Federal and Tribal lands. The NSFLTP
Program provides an opportunity to address significant challenges
across the Nation for transportation facilities that serve Federal and
Tribal lands.
Respondents: Eligible applicants include Federal Land Management
Agencies (FLMA); Tribal Governments; and States, counties, and units of
local government may also apply, but only if sponsored by an FLMA or
Tribal Government. On average, there are about 1,011 respondents.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: The average burden hours per
response varies from 15 minutes to 10 hours depending on the form the
applicant completes.

burden is 2,392 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the FHWA's performance; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that
the burden could be minimized, including the use of electronic
technology, without reducing the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
